It comes after the association's summer pennant competition was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With social distancing restrictions now easing on both sides of the Border, Albury tennis coach Ken Wurtz said players are eager to get back out on courts.
However, he admits numbers are down on previous seasons.
"Most of the players are pretty keen to get out there," he said.
Wurtz said anyone interested in playing can get in contact with their tennis club.
The competition will adhere to Tennis NSW's COVID-19 guidelines to ensure player safety is met.
